Review: Eaters of the Dead by Michael Crichton

Like this post? 
I read this book last year but I am just now getting around to say my paragraph and peace.

LOVE Michael Crichton obviously but this isn't your typical MC novel because it is so much cooler-er. The premise of this book is a Arab guy gets caught up during his own quest following some vikings around which I might call a mistake considering what happens but he is the narrator so we need him. The vikings travel across Europe to come to the aide of the kingdom of some dude vaguely related to the parties leader, some crazy shit has been going on up in his opulent castle. Some monsters are coming down from the hills every night and murdering people in and around the castle. If you haven't guessed yet this book is based on Beowulf and MC has inserted a outside view point for us to get a more logical look at things. So Beowulf gets his crew to together and investigates and battles ensue and you know the rest I think. It is a really genius rewrite and you can tell he has done his research. Very highly recommend!

Before I go, I want to say you were fantastic. Absolutely fantastic. And you know what? So was I.
